Water Resource Examples
Runoff and Collection Studies
Hydrological Modeling: Modeling to simulate runoff quality and quantity.
"First Flush" Effect: Research shows that the initial onset of rainfall ("first flush") often contains the highest concentration of pollutants washed from urban surfaces.
Pollutant Transport: Studies identify runoff as a major source of non-point source pollution.
Water Barriers and Dewatering
Multiple system options for removing surface and groundwater from a site to create a dry, stable environment for excavation and building. 24 hour support available for critical tasks like foundation work, tunneling, and basement construction, ensuring safety, improving efficiency, and maintaining the integrity of the build.
Scour Prevention and Repair
Riprap: Placing large rocks or stones to armor slopes and bridge foundations.
Articulating Block Mats: High-strength fabric forms filled with grout.
Fabric-Formed Concrete: Customizable concrete mats or systems placed underwater or on land.
Gabions: Wire mesh baskets filled with rock, offering a robust solution for bank stabilization and scour protection.
Scour Monitoring Systems
Sonar Depth Sensors: The most widely used fixed solution using acoustic monitoring.
Magnetic Sliding Collars: A collar with magnets that slides down a vertical rod as the streambed erodes.
Float-out Transmitters: Single-use devices buried near foundations.
Vibration-Based Systems: Use accelerometers to detect changes in a structure's natural frequency.
Environmental Anchors
Helical Anchors: Also known as screwpiles, these anchors feature spiral plates that are screwed into the seafloor.
Percussion Driven Earth Anchors (PDEA): Tipping-plate anchors, such as the Manta Ray, are driven into the ground using hydraulic equipment
